Abstract
This section should introduce the reader to the
background theory required to understand the
experimental techniques used in your experiment and
lay out the questions you are trying to answer or the
aims that you are trying to meet [1].
IT SHOULD NOT INCLUDE DETAILS OF THE
RESULTS OR CONCLUSIONS THAT COME FROM
THE EXPERIMENT.
It might be that you need to include equations, these
could be inline such as E = mc2 or as a separate item
with a label.

Similarly chemical formulas could be typed such as
C6H6 or drawn using chemical drawing packages.

Ion exchange chromatography was performed on
the egg white on samples B (84ml of buffer pH
4.6), C (30ml of buffer pH 7.0) and D (40ml of
buffer pH 11.4).
Lysozyme assay was performed on fractions with
highest 280nm absorption and adjacent fractions.
Lowry assay was performed using samples A, B,
C and D as well as a reference of BSA (Bovine
serum albumin at 4mg/ml) at volumes of 30µl,
25µl, 20µl, 15µl, 10µl, 5µl and 0µl with water to
make up 100µl.
Finally SDS PAGE was performed on fractions A,
B, C and D.
Absorbance at 450nm wavelength
Note all algebra, chemical equations or molecules that
are included should be labelled.

IS IN A QUALITATIVE OF QUANTITATIVE WAY IS
BY FAR THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF ANY
SCIENTIFIC REPORT [2] and is where the largest
part of your effort should be.
Your results should be laid out in a clear and
appropriate way using tables and graphics as
appropriate. Thought should be made to the number
of significant figures used on graphs, tables and in
calculations. All quantities in tables and figures should
be dimensionless with the appropriate units included
in the table or figure headings (see Figure 1 and Table
1). All Tables and Figures should have titles.
Note that table headings and values should be
dimensionless. This is also true for the axis titles and
points on a graph.

Some Additional thoughts (secondary
title)
The discussion can stand as a separate section or be
integrated with the results. Depending on your
preference and the experiment you are doing. THE
DISCUSSION OF YOUR RESULTS WHETHER THIS
Conclusion
The conclusion should be concise and critical
summary of the experiment, particular whether the
initial aims were met. Additionally it may include scope
for future work.

In this section you should discuss any analysis you
have done and explain what it means. Does it agree
with any predictions you made at the start of the
experiment?

Notes on references
It is important any references you make are clearly
marked in the text and included as a list at the end of
your text using a consistent style. What is shown
above is the style recommended by the Royal Society
of Chemistry but you may choose to use one of the
other styles discussed in the SPX1006, for example
the Havard style. References should generally be
made to the print material rather than web pages.
